February 15, 2024 - Little past its prime territorial notes are forward now. Enough tannins to to still hold this together a little but not long
December 21, 2023 - Leather, some nice fruit.
November 23, 2023 - Bottle was bad. Waited to late to drink.
October 28, 2023 - Fresh green Cab-styled notes (in that swampy kind-a-way) to the nose. In a tasty way, not decidedly underripe or off at all. Swamp and coconut oil to the palate. Lots of fruit, solid drinking. med/- tannin
October 14, 2023 - Tasty
August 27, 2023 - Deep ruby in complexion, leather, surprisingly slightly oaky for a wine this old. Blueberry and blackberry round out the profile. Mighty smooth, aged delightfully with remarkable balance and bright acidity. The tannins are well integrated and the finish is long and decadent. This is a delicious Cabernet from Silver oak.
July 21, 2023 - Enjoyed with reversed seared pork chops. The time is now - not sure it’s worth waiting longer.
February 19, 2023 - Decant for an hour. Nicely balanced with some cherry, but yet firm and dry on the palate. Very enjoyable with lighter cheeses, charcuterie.
February 12, 2023 - First Super Bowl wine - still hanging. Red & Black berry flavors with some secondary characteristics. One bottle left in cellar. Will it last until 2028, IDK?
November 24, 2022 - Decanted for about an hour. There was some sediment, but not overwhelming. Dark garnet color with nice legs. Light musk, slate, cranberry and some alcohol on the nose. Light to medium body on the palate. Dark fruit, dates, slate, and slightly tart. Very slight tannins.
Moderate peppery finish. Very nice bottle.
